This was another area that saw high amounts of violence, as well as harassment and miscellaneous theft, which was predominantly clustered in the upper east-most corner, between the Uxbridge Road and West Ealing station.

Met Police advice for those implicated in violence is to trust your instincts and try to leave the situation, putting as much distance as possible between yourself and the other person.

Their website adds: "If it comes to the worst, you are entitled to defend yourself using reasonable force, but you may be asked to account for and justify any action you take."
